Metallica, currently flying high with widespread positive reaction to their new album Hardwired...To Self Destruct, will play a special intimate show on at the Fonda Theatre in Hollywood, CA on December 15th. They have checked in with the following update:
"Greetings from HQ, a place we’ve rarely been recently! And we’re about to head out once again, this time for a quick trip south to spend some time with our friends in the media in Los Angeles. If you’ve been following along, by now you’ve figured out that while interviews and photo shoots are great fun, we can’t visit without playing live too! So, we’re back to invite you to join us at the Fonda Theatre in Hollywood next week on Thursday, December 15th for our second to last show of this year!
If you would like to join us and you're a Fifth Member, click here to enter to win an opportunity to purchase up to two tickets per member in a special presale that begins on Friday, December 9th at 9:00 a.m. for one hour only.
